[Verse 1]
What ever never knew that I could feel so good
Smile in your eyes
What ever never knew that I could walk through wood
I guess I never tried

A million years old, but just a little girl
Vibing off the gong
Rubbing on the bowls make you float around
Make your loving strong

[Pre-Chorus]
And when we get in the same place
At the same time, it is your grace
That I want to fall right into now
To love avow

[Chorus]
I'm falling into grace with you
I'm falling into gurumukh
I said I'm falling into grace with you, oh yeah
I'm falling into gurumukh

[Verse 2]
She moves in a rapture that her capsule might
Land on your star
Meditating in the morning, head dressed in white
Beauty bazaar

You can smell the purple light coming from her heart
Get lost and wet
I treat you like a teacher 'cause that's what you are
I wanna be your pet

[Pre-Chorus]
And when we get in the same place
At the same time, it is your grace
That I want to fall right into now
To love avow

[Chorus]
I'm falling into grace with you
I'm falling into gurumukh
I said I'm falling into grace with you, oh yeah
I'm falling into gurumukh

I'm falling into grace with you
I'm falling into gurumukh
I said I'm falling into grace with you, oh yeah
I'm falling into gurumukh

I'm falling into grace with you
I'm falling into gurumukh
Oh, Lord, I'm falling into grace with you, with you
I'm falling into gurumukh

Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a rock band based in Los Angeles, CA that incorporates elements of rap, funk, punk, and rock into their work, mainly classified as an alternative rock band. They made it mainstream off the success of their 1991’s fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, led by singles “Give it Away” and “Under the Bridge.” After losing guitarist John Frusciante and losing popularity following the release of the less successful One Hot Minute, the band reunited for 1999’s Californication. The title track and hit singles “Around the World,” “Scar Tissue” and “Otherside” propelled them back to the fame. After 2002’s solid release By the Way and 2006’s double-disc Stadium Arcadium, Frusciante once again left the band to further pursue his solo career. The band added Josh Klinghoffer to help fill his void, and released I’m With You in 2011.

In December 2019, the band announced via Instagram that Klinghoffer had left after 10 years, and Frusciante would be rejoining.

Their lyrical content was mostly centered around sex, drugs, and the Los Angeles lifestyle, and lead singer Anthony Kiedis mostly rapped them as he wasn’t confident as vocalist. Most members of the band also suffered from drug addiction, as Kiedis and Frusciante had to check themselves into rehab for heroin addiction at various points in their lives. But Californication marked a change in the band’s content matter and lifestyle. The band was sober for the most part, and the lyrics had shifted to songs about love and the pains of addiction, the title even criticized the city they loved so much. In addition, Kiedis had started to sing his lyrics much more often as he finally felt comfortable with his voice. That change has allowed the band to stick around for over 20 years despite multiple changes to their lineup and is part of why they remain relevant.
